This Avocado Mozzarella and Tomato Grilled Cheese started on a rainy afternoon when I was craving something warm but still bright. I had half an avocado left, cherry tomatoes from the fridge, and some fresh mozzarella slices. I grilled them between multigrain bread, and boom—comfort food got a glow-up. That combo of creamy avocado, melted cheese, and juicy tomato? It’s everything.
It’s quick, nourishing, and a little fancier than your average grilled cheese. Perfect for lunch, cozy dinners, or lazy Sundays.

How to Serve and Customize Avocado Mozzarella and Tomato Grilled Cheese
Serve It Fresh and Crispy
This Avocado Mozzarella and Tomato Grilled Cheese is best eaten hot off the pan. The cheese should still be melty, and the tomatoes slightly softened. Cut it on the diagonal for that classic grilled cheese feel, and serve with a side of soup, fresh greens, or even sweet potato fries.
Hosting brunch? Pair it with our summer strawberry apple punch or serve mini versions alongside crispy pepperoni sliders for a cozy crowd-pleaser.
Easy Ingredient Swaps
Swap mozzarella for provolone or sharp cheddar if you like a bolder flavor. No cherry tomatoes? Use regular tomato slices or sun-dried tomatoes for depth. Sprouted grain bread makes it heartier, but sourdough gives it tang. Add spinach, arugula, or a fried egg for extra richness.
It’s the grilled cheese that meets your fridge where it’s at—and always delivers.

FAQs About Avocado Mozzarella and Tomato Grilled Cheese
Can I use a different type of cheese for this sandwich?
